Interview with Rex Gregory pt. 3

Interviews with notable New Orleans musicians -... ·

2011/05/23

Rex Gregory is an extremely talented, but also very disciplined, instrumentalist. He plays with a wide variety of people around town in a number of styles, many of them not fixed genres. Part of this comes from a great talent for getting with the "conversational" style that emerges when groups of players get together to improvise. Basically, he's quick! He's also young (27.) He plays flute, all the saxes, and clarinet and last year he released his first album as a leader,An End To Oblivion. He is

Interview with Aurora Nealand Pt.4

2011/05/20

Aurora Nealand is all over the current New Orleans local scene. She seemed to emerge out of nowhere. Some of her appeal is that she has a humble nature, coupled with a fiery attack when she plays, and a real fearlessness about sitting in and getting involved. She plays solo performances with a gas mask and an accordion. You'll see her playing soprano sax and clarinet exchanges with herself at Pres. Hall with The Royal Roses (see earlier post on front page.) You'll see her playing duos with

Mark Bingham talks in depth about some key times in his life in music. A lot came to light in this interview and, although we have been friends for years, I learned a lot of pieces of information that made sense of some parts of his life and work that I didn't realize. Mark's contribution to New Orleans's music scene starts back in 1982. Most of this interview deals with stuff earlier than that. Even though it's a long interview and has a lot of information, a lot was left out due to time
